How to Read Phi?

Published in Greek Alphabet 1 min read

Phi (Φ, ϕ) is read as "Phi," pronouncing it with an "f" sound, not a "p" or "fee."

In more detail:

  • The correct pronunciation is "fie." It rhymes with "pie" or "sky."

  • The sound to produce is similar to the "f" in "fun," not the "ph" in "phone" (though etymologically related).

  • Avoid saying "fee" or "pee," as these are incorrect.

Therefore, to pronounce Phi correctly, say it like "fie."
